With Pat




On March 14 we lost Al Rosen, who played 10 years for the Cleveland Indians and was a member of their 1948 championship team. He also was the 1953 MVP, with a .336 batting avg, 43 home runs and 145 RBI. He was four points shy of winning the batting title that year or he would have won the Triple Crown. After playing 10 years he retired due to back and leg injuries at the age of 32. Later he would serve as President and CEO of the Yankees, 78-79 and the Astros 1980- 85, then as general manager of the Giants from 85-92. So he had a very successful life as a player and executive in baseball. I do know he was instrumental in helping the Yankees in winning in 78, and for the hiring of some of the staff that would help the Yankees in the future.                                                                          In the NCAA tournament that started earlier today there has already been some upsets and I know of one controversial call that gave UCLA a win over SMU. I am sure there are going to be more calls and games that will have people talking after this weekend.
